Seems quite reasonable to remove illegal communities given how Lemmy works with the caching of all content locally. There is just a significant legal risk for the instance operators involved here.
Merely discussing piracy is not a crime. And that's all that happens in that community
It depends on the kind of discussion. Incentivizing other people to break the law is illegal in most places
Then arrest the execs making those incentives; not the consumers taking and distributing notes on them.
